2021 OL Michael Myslinski

[texifornia 57,171]

There's our center for the class - Hook 'em!

https://247sports.com/Player/Michael-Myslinski-46086430/

"How he fits at Texas: Myslinski checks in at about 6-foot-2, 285 pounds now, and excels at playing low and mean in the run game. He’s very quick off the ball, downhill but also laterally. He should be very precise with combo blocks on inside zone but also potentially in executing reach blocks on outside zone or pulling. Iowa would have made great use of his lateral quickness and Texas should do the same. UT’s keen interest in Myslinski seems almost like a chance for Herb Hand to make up for the fact that he couldn’t coach Parker Braun, very similar to Myslinki, out of high school into a center. He was only able to coach that low-set mauler for a single year and had to patch him into a totally new scheme at guard. – Ian Boyd"

Meat!

I'm not as down on him as others are.  Schools known for good OL evals were after him.  Let him RS and beef up.  He has good bloodlines and is a smart player.

This had me laughing immoderately.  Seems to capture what's been happening in 2020 OL recruiting.  Lulz.

The next Dan Neil??

Haha, probably not. I will say his film is some of the funnest stuff I’ve seen thus far from any interior lineman in his class. He bulldogs the shit out of those boys. Now only if the good lord would bless him with another 2/3 inches height and 25 lbs of thickness.

 

Welcome kid. Hook’em!

[Sleepyhorn 6]

Welcome to the 40!

I will also add that this is a position of great need every single year.  We always seem to be forced to transition some non-center there.  If it's this guy or J.Brock who actually play the position already, then awesome.

So.....I’ve reached that age when the teenagers and the moms of teenagers have morphed into the same person.

Awesome.

This kid is a solid player from a good program. His dad is the S&C coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

[Bevo 13,601]

Great addition. The Canadian would be another. We still need a LT - FUBB.

Programs are just never going to recruit a lot of guys who play interior OL in HS.  The best athletes on the OL in HS play tackle, so you're better off swinging those guys inside than taking IOL-specific guys. Same thing happens in the NFL. A ton of guys who play LT in college swing inside because they don't meet the measurable benchmarks for NFL Tackle.

I saw this morning that this kid committed to Texas. Thought you guys might like this Twitter thread from a MSU blog/podcast guy. I saw it the other day and was impressed.

i know this sounds weird to say about a former NFL offensive lineman/ NFL strength coach, but his dad seems like a pretty serious individual

Is this our Dom Espinosa, Zack Shackelford kid that is lower rated and starts 4 years for us?

Dude absolutely needs the redshirt year to rotate between the weight room and the dining hall. After that, who knows?

I was a center (and LB), so this hits close to home.

Hook'em Mr. Myslinski!

Time to sharpen the "getting an exact height measurement from an internet photo skills" 

Tom Myslinski was listed at 6'3 when he played for the Jags per Pro Football Reference and Wikipedia.  Mike is slightly closer to the camera and has a shitload of hair, but using some highly advanced technology, I've enhanced the photo to show that Mike is clearly at least 6'4, and therefore all concerns about his frame and potential weight are entirely unfounded. That'll be $9.95.
